Stepping into My Role

Family Unity for Ministers
Ministry can take its toll on kids, especially if parents are so involved in their work they don’t take vacations or spend daily and weekly quality time as a family. In counseling missionary families whose children have walked away from the Lord or made other devastating decisions, I have found that, most often, the childrenContinue reading “Family Unity for Ministers”

Family Unity for Ministers
Ministry can take its toll on kids, especially if parents are so involved in their work they don’t take vacations or spend daily and weekly quality time as a family.

Walking Toward Oneness
When we go through trials, it’s easy to look around and think, “Why doesn’t she have this problem? Am I the only one going through this?” or “Why does God heal him but not me?” or “Why is my marriage in pieces, and that other couple is so blessed?” The truth is we all haveContinue reading “Walking Toward Oneness”
Do Not Fear
I awoke from a dream where a little girl worriedly tugged on her mother’s skirt, saying “Mommy, Mommy! I don’t want to go bye-bye.” Her face still haunts me as I write this. What devastation. So many mothers and children in Ukraine have been injured and killed, especially after Russia bombed a maternity and children’sContinue reading “Do Not Fear”
Joyfully One
A few nights ago I had a dream in which God’s people gathered from all nations to daily have breakfast together. There was no distinction between races, cultures or portions, but all were of one Kingdom, one family, and all received the same perfectly proportioned manna-cake. They were laughing, each seated wherever they were inContinue reading “Joyfully One”

Believe Me
I have not stopped moving. I have not stopped speaking. When did you stop moving with Me? When did you stop listening? I’m right here where I’ve always been, doing the things I always do. When did you step off who the Word says I am and believe whatever you think makes you feel betterContinue reading “Believe Me”
Step Back in
The future is changing. But My love never changes. What did I call you to that you never stepped out to do because so many other things in life got in the way? If I open the door for you now, walk on through. If not, your calling is not in vain. For I haveContinue reading “Step Back in”
Still My Focus
Being still isn’t easy. Especially when the demands of this world press against us. As I’ve been asking the Lord to teach me how to be still, He’s been opening up the way to quiet myself, even in the midst of those busy things of everyday life.

Fight to Follow
The more we surrender to Christ and walk as one with Him, the greater resistance we will experience not just from the world, but from within the church. Have you felt it yet? We have a real enemy. But it is not the verses that don’t fit into our agendas. And it’s not the brotherContinue reading “Fight to Follow”
Rise up and LOVE
What earthly causes have made you anxious or angry these days? The Lord is calling us now to rise up out of our fear and hatred. And LOVE. The issues we are fighting about are of this earth. They are temporary. Fix your eyes on what is eternal. Hebrews 12:1-3. When you get to Heaven,Continue reading “Rise up and LOVE”
Take Our Breath Away
This morning, the Lord awakened me to a vision of a dancing fountain. I saw how beautiful we are together in Him, as His Spirit moves us this way and that.
